Project objective• Correlate the droughts in Iguaçu River with
the supply of energy from hydroelectric power plants using the ArcGIS tools
Location• Iguaçu River - Paraná State - Brazil

Hydrology description
• Iguaçu River has an average flow rate of 1,746 m³/s
• 1,320 kilometres (820 mi) long
• 5 Hydroelectric power plants• Iguaçu Falls

• The Iguaçu Falls has the second-greatest average annual flow, after Niagara Falls, with an average rate of 1,746 m³/s (Niagara Falls: 2,400 m³/s)
• Maximum recorded flow 12,800 m³/s (Niagara Falls: 8,300 m³/s)

Importance of Hydroelectric Power in Brazil
• Hydroelectric power plants produce over 90% of the electrical energy consumed in Brazil
• Itaipu Dam corresponds to 25% (14,000 MW)
• Iguaçu River: 5 Hydroelectric Power Plants – distribute its energy to Paraná State and the remaining (almost 40%) to other regions in Brazil

Power from the Iguaçu River
• Foz do Areia (1,676 MW)• Salto Osório (1,078 MW)• Segredo (1,260 MW)
• Salto Santiago (1,420 MW)• Salto Caxias (1,240 MW)

What happened in 2006?
• The energy supply in Brazil is interconnected and controlled by the National Interconnected System (SIN) - system allows different regions to exchange power among them
• During the drought season of 2006, the Paraná State had their energy supplied by other regions

Conclusion
• ArcGIS can be very useful to SIN system to demonstrate graphically and predict the impact of a drought year
